Loyola Maroon Vol. XLIII Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, Dec. 2, 1966 No. 8 U.S. Official Guest Speaker At Graduation Stanley H. Ruttenberg, Assistant Secretary and National Manpower Administrator of the United States Department of Labor, was guest speaker at graduation exercises for 134 men and women who participated in the special education program. The Very Rev. Homer R. Jolley, S.J., president of Loyola, presented the diplomas to the participants who were from four southeast Louisiana parishes. They were trained in secretarial skills, equipment maintenance and general adult education. The program was under the auspices of the Institute of Human Relations. Goals of the program included assisting under-employed persons to assume contributing roles in the labor force and to successfully fulfill employer needs. "Those who participated in our program put forth great efforts in achieving the goal of employability. That they have succeeded is a significant indication of the great potential possessed by our nation today," the Rev. Louis Twomey, S.J., director of the Institute of Human Relations, explained. He also added that if we "continue to use manpower development programs sponsored by the federal government, we will progress rapidly in the maximum utilization of the most precious resource we have —the men and women of the United States." Blow That Horn... The group division of Blue Key's Annual Talent Nite will be spiced with the Prolifically Pretentious Philharmonic Precepters and Marching Society pictured above. Ragtime music is their specialty and they will be shooting hard for the top prize. They will be competing against four other acts in the group classification. Talent Nite is slated for the Fieldhouse Saturday, Dec. 3, at 8 p.m. Tickets are available in the Loyola Bookstore. Stanley H. Ruttenberg Biever Residents Vote For Representatives By FERREL GUILLORY Initial steps were taken this week toward establishing a men's residence council in Biever Hall, and representatives have been chosen to form a committee for the purpose of writing a constitution. However, all has not progressed smoothly as two separate factions fought for the right to be the one to begin forming the dorm organization.The election of wing representatives held this week was accomplished by a plan under the sponsorship of H. M. Messmer, monitor of the Fourth Floor South Wing, which calls for the assembly thus formed to meet next week to prepare a constitution. Messmer was challenged by Donald Voorhies, A&S senior, who submitted a plan to the Rev. Joseph Molloy, S.J., dean of students, on Nov. 21, which provided for the writing of the constitution to be done on a voluntary basis by interested students. Voorhies said that he was interestedinterested in having the residence council taken completely out of the hands of the administration, of which the monitors are a part, so that the residents would feel they were acting freely. Father Molloy gave a go-ahead to Voorhies' plan. Voorhies said that his proposal would enable the organization to actually take part in forming the policy by which Biever Hall is run. "Regulations for the dormitory would either originate from the Senate (the men's residence council) or be subjected to their consideration, approval, and/or revision," said Voorhies. Messmer's policy was quite different as he said the purpose would be mainly in making suggestions and registering complaints. "These fellows (dorm residents) definitely should have a voice and should be heard," said Father Molloy. He explained that he would like to see the council concern itself with more than just rules but go into other areas—social and recreational—to create better spirit among the dorm students. Father Molloy said that the administration of the university, including himself, would not impose on the dorm residents. So far he has done nothing more than encouraging the students to form an organiza- Moj. Gen. Chester A.
